Rep. Rebecca Chavez-Houck (D)

HB 264 (End of Life Options Act)

Libertas Institute supports this bill.

This bill legally allows a physician, under narrow circumstances, to prescribe life ending drugs to a terminally ill patient wishing to end their own life.

Libertas Institute supports this bill. Suicide should be discouraged and resources provided to help those considering this option. However, individuals can end their own life, and should not be impeded by laws that prohibit doctors (as medical gatekeepers) from providing the drugs necessary to do so.
